It hasn’t stopped hacked-off posters from making sure their voices are heard: They’re responding to posts, no matter the original topic, with their $0.02 on her homophobic comments that have flamed across the Internet since Express-News columnist Brian Chasnoff first revealed her true feelings.

A then-staffer secretly recorded Chan during a May 21 District 9 staff meeting. She called members of the LGBT community “disgusting,” joked that she would check the “equipment” of transgender people (who she mistook for pansexuals) and said she didn’t think same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt.

There’s a smattering of comments defending the councilwoman and her statements, though by and large, the responses are bashing her.

Meanwhile, in another corner of Facebook, George Takei — a former Star Trek star turned powerhouse LGBT activist — took Chan to task.

He wrote: “It’s always disappointing when Asian Americans in leadership positions fall short. Personally, I find this woman’s actions repugnant. San Antonio, it’s time to dump your trash and make sure the likes of Elisa Chan are never reelected.

“The Japanese American Citizen’s League was the very first minority civil rights organization to support marriage equality for LGBTs back in 1996. I call on Asian American leaders and organizations to condemn Chan’s behavior and her ugly political cynicism.”

About two hours later, he posted a meme that he says describes the councilwoman. It’s not something we’ll post directly here, but we have no qualms giving you the link to see for yourself. Click here for Takei’s word lesson of the day.

Back on Chan’s page, there’s a lot of use of the words “pathetic excuse,” and commentators have spun the word “disgusting,” which Chan used to describe the LGBT community, back on her.

Others come to her rescue. Some say they support her for her remarks that they believe represent “many” San Antonians.

“Juliana Towers,” who some people are claiming are Chan herself, or an aide, posted a defense:

We support your views Ms. Chan. Some will reveal their dirty minds and bullying when they don’t get what they want. But we all have the right to our opinion, as much as anyone. Don’t let the nasty Press and inappropriate recording of a private meeting taken out of context dissuade you. We will physically stand next to you, and counter all the nastiness, whenever you need. You could always argue they are Asianphobic 🙂 You have a right to your opinion on the matter before the City Council. You were elected to have an opinion, and there was no discrimination. They are trying to pull you into making statements you are not required to make. We support you on this all the way, and appreciate your service to your constituents. Why don’t they play the recording? Because it is from a private meeting.”

It’s important to note that as of Monday afternoon, “Juliana Towers” had exactly zero Facebook friends, one photo and no activity on her timeline.

On the flip side, Linda King says: “Is there a line item in the budget to send you out for some education? You’ve got to be one of the stupidest public officials around. Can you be rehabilitated?”

Michael Aze, who says he’s a Chinese American, writes, in part, on Chan’s page: “As a Chinese American who was born in Taiwan, I am ashamed of Councilwoman Elisa Chan’s comments and her willful ignorance. Has she forgotten the sting of discrimination base on the color of her skin and the of slant of her eyes? Has she forgotten ‘no ticki, no laundry’ and ‘why you people eat dogs’ comments of ignorance?”

Beyond Facebook, the reactions to Chan are immense. Trying to keep up with this is like the often-used simile drinking from a firehose.
